ahwiles - stumcgroo's thread is brilliant, and a link to it should be used as the standard response to any 'weight / weight shift' waffle about alfine.but, he hasn't provided a weight for the hub itself, so i'm keen to see for myself...
that's because it's irrelevant. without a bike to put it in you've just got an expensive door top. too many people talk bollocks about the weight of the hub when they should be looking at the whole package.
give me a bicycle component and i will weigh it.
it's entirely relevant, because i want to know what it weighs, because i'm curious - is that ok?
Anyone setup an alfine with a full suss? How do you get around chain growth? I'm tempted to try it out on the full sus, I've wrecked 3 rear mechs in the last 12 months...
What alfine ratio would give the same(ish) as a 1x9 34t 11/34 setup?

peace brother, it's a free world. you commented on my thread and used "but", i was simply defending my decision, that's all

YESS ETR-D tensioner is pretty much the only thing, and it is quite a bit less exposed than a rear mech.
presumably the standard alfine tensioner will do the job too?
So, with one of those tensioners.....you could run two front rings ???
Interesting thread. However, I'm a DCL fan, so unless these hubs were compatible, looks like I'd be stuck with the coventional set-up.
I expect the Alfine tensioner would work fine for FS, just like the YESS, but if they break rear mechs they will probably also break the Alfine tensioner.
If I wanted to use a double chainring, I'd probably just tension with a rear mech. With the YESS the chainline is set solid with a bolt, so I don't think it would work.
Just ordered mine from on one with the versa shifters.
We will see.

Yes, you can run two chainrings with the Alfine tensioner so long as everything's within capacity. Also allows you to run oval chainrings such as EggRings with a hub gear.
